End of Stock and SuperStock Racing??

The next generation of racers aren't going to be class racers.

They are heads up, pro tree, fastest car wins type racers. There are tons of other races going on all over the country where the "younger generation" race at. They just aren't interested in class racing. To them it's confusing. You get penalized for going to fast, you qualify off of some fictitious number that NHRA came up with, you get fined and banned for stupid reasons, the events are 3-5 days long plus travel, the entry fees are ridiculous, the payouts are low and the rules are written in a manner that if you don't have a traditional car, built by the big 3, you'll have a hard time fitting in. These are all things I have heard from others that race, but don't class race.

I personal enjoy all aspects that racing has to offer. But I'm starting to find out it's very hard to have a car that is good at everything.
